5. New
Technology to Reduce Greenhouse Gases
The Office of Research and Economic
Development is sponsoring a presentation, "How to Save the
World, or Carbon Capture by Temperature Swing Adsorption," by Dr.
John Dunning. The talk will discuss a developing technology that can
capture carbon dioxide and contain the gas so that it cannot contribute to
global warming. Dr. Dunning is a Cal Poly Research Scholar in Residence.
This presentation will be held on Monday, November 27, at 4:10pm in Room
209 of the Kennedy Library. All Cal Poly faculty, staff, students,

Studying in China offers you the chance to embrace a new culture
and learn about a country with a history dating back thousands of years, whose
economy has been growing dramatically these past two decades. Knowledge of
China is increasingly desired by employers and provides you an edge in your
resume. In addition to gaining such a study abroad experience, you are able to
accelerate your academic degree progress by earning Cal Poly academic credits.
Students who participate in Engineering in China 2018 will take STAT 312 (4
units), ENGR 400 (2 units) and IME 471 (1 unit). Dr. John Oliver has agreed to
allow CPE students who participate in this program to substitute STAT 350 with
STAT 312.
Engineering in China, a Cal Poly faculty led global program is designed to offer Cal Poly students a multidisciplinary international team experience. International teams will be formed consisting of Cal Poly students and Chinese students from Zhejiang University of Technology (ZJUT) and you will take classes and conduct projects together with the intent of applying the knowledge they acquire to solve real-world problems. Through this experience, you will learn how to work in a team with different cultural backgrounds. You will gain problem-solving skills by conducting real world projects. You will also improve communication skills and develop leadership skills in a multi-cultural environment. It is expected that students will be ready to function in a global environment after this program.
Plant tours of manufacturing companies are integrated into the program. We will visit Volvo/Jili Auto Company, Plexus (http://www.plexus.com/solutions/overview), Jingshen M&E Co., and Xio-lift elevator/escalator Co.
Six days of cultural excursions in Hangzhou and Shanghai are part of the program. We will visit the Bund and the 100th floor of the Financial Center in Shanghai, and taste famous Nanxiang Steamed Bun (Baozi) at Yu Garden and have a nice buffet dinner at the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. West Lake of Hangzhou, a United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site, is a must visit place. In addition, we will experience the beauty of Suzhou classical garden, ride a boat at the Xixi Wetland National Park, and taste spring water from the Tiger Spring.
Detailed information of this program is available at Cal Poly study abroad website: https://abroad.calpoly.edu/index.cfm?FuseAction=Programs.ViewProgram&Program_ID=10761
